Breakaway to Bali – Day 1: Uluwatu

Uluwatu is a place known for the holy temple of Luhur and its marvelous view of sunset. There wasn’t much to see at the entrance hence I wasn’t really excited until I passed by the temple. The moment I walked up the stairs and stood at the tableland, I was stunned by the view. I can see the sea wave moving beautifully towards the precipice and the rhythm created is so graceful!

The scenery is perfect but the little creatures here weren’t really friendly. The monkeys tend to be overly aggressive and would snatch whatever people are holding or having on their body. I was only holding my camera and already took off all accessories like sunglasses or bracelet but was still attacked by a monkey. It actually chased from far and jumped on my head just to grab my hair band. Luckily my colleague standing next to me quickly grabbed my hair band and kept it in his pocket else don’t know how long the monkey would like to enjoy the ride on my head…lol…This spectacular place is definitely worth visiting and I’m so in love with the photos taken.

This is way before the sunset…can you imagine how amazing the sunset gonna be like?

The branches of the tree grow kinda artistically...perhaps it can be used as a pattern...

It is indeed stunning and with beautiful views up there! The feeling that actually the monkeys give me is that they act as protectors/guardians to the temple even some said they are trained to snatch.

Love how you made the pictures awesomely beautiful with their colors most soothing with my naked eye.
